Re: D&RGW Caboose 0582 Solved !
| October 20, 2014 04:35PM |
The caboose in question is a replica in 7/8 scale built by the late Henry Welzel from Washington state. Henry also had a replica Ilwaco coach he had built as well as an actual rebuilt Ilwaco coach. The restored coach went to a museum in Ilwaco WA. while Brad Milne ended up with the coach and caboose. I am glad the caboose found a new home at last. The attached pic was taken at Brad's yard in Roy Washington 6 years ago.At that time Brad was attempting to install passenger trucks under it, SVRR later purchased the trucks from Brad.
